About

With experience in the finance and automotive sectors as well as in IT, Sao Paulo-based Márcio Silveira has been at Oracle for over 15 years and is currently head of legal and compliance. He has forged his 20-strong team into an ‘extremely business-oriented unit’ with a profound risk assessment capability that ‘enables management to make the correct judgement call’, while concurrently ensuring the full implementation of the Oracle code of conduct, both internally and across suppliers and other business partners. Proud of the consistency of service that has been developed and maintained during his tenure, he notes that the team has also participated in more than 60 successful acquisitions in the region over the last few years thereby ‘enabling Oracle to become a competitive player in the region’s IT market’. The company recently announced that it would establish its first Latin American data centre, in Brazil, in 2014.
